• Professional presentation with good videography.
• Instructor was well prepared and explained the process clearly.
• I like the finished product. It looks good, it is functional, and I like that the bag is more advanced than a basic/beginner bag.
• On the negative, and to me it's kind of big deal, there is no finished size given for the bag and the patterns would be better if dimensions were provided, especially for basic squares/rectangles.

Thank you so much! I am a beginner and I was able to make this bag that looks pretty professional, at least compared to what I made before :) I'll attach a pic if I figure out how :)))

Great step-by-step instructions - may be a little difficult for a beginner, but honestly, with the steps being so clear, maybe not. I hadn't done a zipper in years, and it turned out great. Love it, and am going to make a couple more for gifts.
